The International Cricket Council (ICC) and JioStar have jointly clarified that recent media reports questioning the status of their media rights agreement in India do not reflect the position of either organisation.
In a statement issued on December 12, the ICC and JioStar say the existing agreement remains fully in force and that JioStar continues as the ICC’s official media rights partner in India. The organisations add that any suggestion of JioStar withdrawing from the agreement is incorrect.
JioStar says it remains fully committed to honouring its contractual obligations in letter and spirit. Both parties state that they continue to focus on delivering uninterrupted coverage of upcoming ICC events for audiences in India, including the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
The statement adds that preparations for forthcoming tournaments are progressing as planned, with no impact on viewers, advertisers or industry partners. ICC and JioStar also say they remain in regular communication on operational, commercial and strategic matters as long-term partners, with a shared focus on growing the sport.
